Senator Elizabeth Warren says that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has refused to speak to her since a controversial incident between the two Senators occurred earlier this year.

In February, McConnell used an obscure rule to silence the progressive Senator on the floor. Warren was reading a 1986 letter from Coretta Scott King at the confirmation hearing for Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions when McConnell used the rule to silence her for the remainder of the hearing.

The rule barred Senators from making critical comments regarding the personal character of fellow elected officials, and McConnell argued that the contents of the important letter did just that.
